The corporation Linden Comansa was originally known as "Imausa." In the early 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig manufacturers. The company started out supplying mostly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and other tools for both in-house and external use. The company also specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to soon become among the globe's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst various other things. The company became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suited for the specific building methods being used at that time. The first crane model eventually grew into a range of cranes with a capacity ranging from 12 to 42 metric-tons.
Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier by the early 1970s. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to engineer and design cranes which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities which allow the development and production of even bigger and more spectacular equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several specific benefits that has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa clients all around the world. These clients all around the globe have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery manufactured within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
